Chapter 176: Harvest, "The Ancient Legend of the Twins, Volume "
As his body gradually recovered, Dome quickly adjusted his mentality and got into the role, just like he had done when facing Leon.
Lind suspected that there was no concept of loyalty in Dome's heart, or that Dome would only be loyal to the stronger ones, and this loyalty would last until someone stronger than Lind appeared.
Good harvest!
Led by Domei, they came to a room upstairs in the castle.
The cold, hard ground made a thumping sound when the iron boots landed.
Linde swept his eyes across the room, and his gaze first stopped at the window. The window on this side of the room faced the sea. The dark sea surface was like dead water without any life. When people moved their eyes upwards, the sea surface shook slightly twice.
The funnel-shaped black clouds that burned red in the sky were gradually dispersing, and a faint beam of light penetrated the gaps in the black clouds, fell on the dark sea, and was finally swallowed up by the black sea water.
Linde turned his gaze back to the room.
In the small room there is a very eye-catching large bookshelf that occupies the entire wall.
At this time, there are nearly a hundred books on the bookshelf, and the breath of knowledge is overwhelming.
Linde took a deep breath and his mood became very good.
This is the real harvest.
Even more excited than Lind was Miss Micko.
She didn't even observe the environment in the room. The moment she opened the door, she rushed to the bookshelf and stood on tiptoe to try to pull out a thin booklet from the bookshelf.
Standing on tiptoe with her heels raised, she had a clear goal. She stretched out her fingers as far as she could to try to take a book down from the shelf, but unfortunately she was just a little short of the mark due to the height limitation.
Linde walked over and helped her take out the booklet.
Made of parchment, fine workmanship.
Mi Ke happily took the booklet and flipped through it quickly.
The two's natural behavior made Domei and Morena's eyes widen slightly.
Could it be that it is not as simple as an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship?
They hadn't communicated with each other since the beginning, but Morena found that whether it was Miko being the first to react and call her after Linde gave her a look, or Linde naturally reaching out to help her when she couldn't reach the book, it all seemed extremely natural.
On the contrary, Lance at the door said that everything was normal. If you could see that Lind gave all the Hearts of Disaster that he had found to Miko, and then saw that Miko did not sleep for two or three days in a row in order to make the potion, you would know that this was just a trivial matter to them.
Do you really think anyone can kick the lord in the calf?
They were the only two people who thought that others hadn't noticed.
After Miko opened the parchment booklet, Linde bent down and leaned over to take a look. He was very curious why Miko fell in love with the booklet at first sight. "Idealism" was a good explanation, that is, there was a voice in the dark that attracted him.
But Mi Ke reached out and pushed his head, saying disdainfully: "You're blocking the light!"
Lind straightened up, but from his high position he could still see the contents of the booklet in Miko's hand.
He recognized every word recorded on it, but he felt a little dizzy after putting them together.
Miko turned around and asked, "Is this moon magic?!"
Moon magic? A word that makes people feel fresh. Oh no, it should be said that for the people of the Rand Kingdom, as long as it is magic, it is quite fresh.
Moon magic should be some kind of abbreviation, such as the magic that can only be used by wizards who follow the path of the Moon Witch, Lind guessed.
Dome's reaction also confirmed Lind's conjecture.
"Do you also possess the power of Uni?" Dome acted like a wise old man. He leaned forward slightly, his soft white beard hanging in front of his chest and swaying gently, but his relaxed eyes were shining.
But Lind always felt that Dome's reaction was a little artificial.
Has he been this enthusiastic before?
Mi Ke coughed lightly, raised her chin, and put her hands behind her back: "I'm from Tianxing Magic School."
"Tianxing! Magic is supreme!" Duomei pulled his beard to express shock, and looked at Mi Ke with eyes full of envy. "I have heard about Tianxing Magic School for countless days and nights. It is said that it is a temple of magic and knowledge."
Miko glanced at Lind, and his eyes seemed to say: See, you are the only one who doesn't know about Tianxing Magic School.
"Ahem, it's not just rumors." Mi Ke shook his head and said, "It is indeed a palace of knowledge. It not only has magical knowledge, but also other knowledge."
Morena and Milanm on the side had no eyes to look at Domei. The old man must have seen that Miko had a close relationship with the lord, so he specially held him up to chat.
The old guy really has no shame at all.
Lind ignored the complacent Miko, otherwise his rabbit ears would be up to the sky. No matter where the Star Magic School is, he will go there one day.
He walked to the bookshelf, waved his hand, hesitated for a long time, and then pulled out a book at random.
The Ancient Legend of the Twins Volume 3
This is the book he chose.
"Ms. Milam." Lind turned his head. After they entered the room, Milam and Lancelan took the initiative to take on the task of preventing the undead from entering. Of course, they had been paying attention to the movements in the room since just now.
Hearing Lind's call, Milam immediately came in.
"Sir," Miram said respectfully.
"The book we talked about before, is it here?" Lind was asking about the collection of poems related to the Secret Rune Messenger.
Miram quickly scanned the bookshelf and finally set his eyes on Lind's hand: "It's the book in your hand. I remember it very clearly. It's a legendary story."
There is indeed some meaning in it.
Following your instinct will lead you directly to what you need.
Lind asked, "'The Ancient Tales of the Twins, Volume 3', are you sure it's this storybook, and not a collection of poems or something like that?"
The three powers he came into contact with, the Sun's Witness, the Moon Witch, and the Forge Master, were all related to the collection of poems.
Gaining power through the combination of poetry collections and related magic potions has formed a fixed mindset in Lind. This storybook may look old, but it is definitely different from the previous poetry collections.
"The Secret Mark has no religion," Miram explained. "The Secret Mark believes in knowledge and oneself."
Hearing this, Linde opened the "Ancient Legend of the Twins·Volume 3" again. The whole book does not have many words, and it does not take much time to quickly scan it.
He asked casually, "So, this is your collection of poems?"
"The legendary experience of each secret rune envoy may be a poem in itself."
Lind was quite surprised by Milam's answer. He looked at Milam's face carefully for a while. No matter what kind of person it is, it is possible for them to show surprising romance at that moment.
He admitted that at this moment, Milam left a much better impression on him and was no longer a fence-sitter who surrendered at the speed of light.
In fact, Leon's men can be divided into two types. One is the fence-sitter who will flee at the first sign of trouble, and the other is the one who will stick to his post until death.
Milam and Dome are both representatives of fence-sitters, and they surrendered so quickly that I was even embarrassed to kill them.
Linde's eyes fell on the text again. Reading stories is indeed much more interesting than reading poetry collections.
"This may just be a story about a dementia-smelling old man, or it may be a legendary experience. In any case, I think it should be preserved."
"I don't want to talk about the infusion of secret patterns, or how to choose the most suitable secret pattern and the most suitable weapon or armor. Secret patterns, once injected, cannot be changed, and cannot withstand more. Each weapon can only retain one. This is an iron rule."
"I have wondered why it is not possible to inject two types of magic patterns at the same time. I have been wandering around the Xilu Continent and communicating with secret pattern masters from all over the world. I have heard that fairies are good at making magic weapons. I even plan to find a knowledgeable dragon. Perhaps the dragon's thousands of years of experience can help me solve my doubts."
"Unfortunately, I couldn't find the dragon. By the way, I have a two-headed flying dragon. It's not very powerful, but it flies very steadily and has a good personality. Unfortunately, one of its heads was smashed by lightning when it flew through a thundercloud. The two heads had a good relationship. As long as one of the heads was alive, the dragon would not die. But after one of the heads died, the other one died not long after, and died of depression."
"I finally found an ancient site and obtained a rule from it. It allowed me to split my mind and do two things at once. I imagined myself as two people. It took me a long time to master this ability. Then I was able to inject two secret patterns at the same time. No one in the world except God can do this. My favorite is the two-handed sword that combines the attributes of frost and dead spirit secret patterns. It is so cold and dead, but it makes people's hearts tremble."
"Until the end of my life, I am still confused. The times are moving forward, and we have made countless progress based on the foundations of our predecessors. But why is it that the ancient magic is always the solution to our troubles?"
Lind closed the "Ancient Legends of the Twins·Volume 3" and all the books would be sent back to Star Dragon City.
……
Returning to Star Dragon City, Lind plunged into the hall.
He was very curious about the underground mechanical equipment under the castle that turned the undead into human-shaped batteries, so he pulled Domei aside to ask, and also left time for Miss Micko to find a room to store the books.
Knowledge can only make people feel safe if it is placed within a wall that can withstand the attacks of the strong.
"Those things come from the Mechanicus," Dome answered Lind's question seriously.
"Mechanicus?"
Lind suddenly began to miss the simple and beautiful life in the Kingdom of Rand, where knights were everything. Unlike now, there are magic, insanity, secret patterns, furnaces, green skins, abysses, stars, and now there are more machines.
"That should be a civilization that has been lost in the long river of time, and it does not belong to the continent under our feet," Duomei explained. "They abandoned their human bodies and turned themselves into mechanical life forms similar to puppets. The extraction array I built underground was created based on the remaining knowledge of the Mechanicus about magic energy, combined with my own understanding of the knowledge."
"To what extent can it be achieved?" Lind asked.
There are more and more undead people, and the lion emblem has more and more functions. Serin can't handle it alone. It's not impossible to throw Miram over to be the second humanoid battery of the upper knight, but if there is a better alternative, Lind will not refuse.
"It can be extracted from people who have energy," Duo Mei said, "and there is also a magic array for storing energy, which can be directly used when needed."
"The fireball you released before used the energy stored in the magic circle?" The horrifying scene of burning the dark clouds in the sky is still vivid in his mind.
If the opponent used other attributes instead of fire, Lind would definitely turn around and run away.
"This needs to be combined with another kind of knowledge." Duo Mei smiled: "You can let someone else sing instead... My lord, you should know Milburn from Kazhan Town. This is the knowledge I got from him. Before he went completely crazy."
